Today we woke to sunny skies and a persistent cool gusty wind....time to hitch up and finally leave this beautiful place.
We were on the road by 7:30, stopping along the way at the Estes Park Recycling Center (which might not have been the best place to visit with a 2 foot RV in tow) to unload all the glass and paper and aluminum cans we'd been collecting for weeks. The drive out of the Rockies was beautiful....the mountains disappeared rapidly as we followed the winding river eastward. Geologically, we watched a fast rewind of our total trip.....in 2 hours we were driving through flat farm country, past wheat and corn fields, enormous feed lots and one huge dairy farm. We got onto I-80 in Nebraska and are spending the night at the Cody Park in South Platte, Nebraska. There's only one other RV here---we're surrounded by geese honking, the sounds of a ballgame in the distance and lots of train whistles (we're close to a big trainyard with feed silos). The price is fantastic--$5/night. There are no hookups at that rate, and it's supposed to be very cold tonight....we'll have to bundle
